The band performs an average sixteen times per year, delivering big band music to community centres, hospitals and seniors residences.

Music Director - Andrew S. Clark
Andrew started playing bass guitar in a rock-and-roll band as a student in Adelaide, Australia, and very occasionally could be seen late at night brandishing a trombone. Many years, two continents and two children later, he has retired from his serious day job and now entertains himself playing music and more recently, directing the Brock House Big Band.

Swing-in-Style - Brock House Big Band Dance Team

Maria Morlin and Peter Dunlop have been dancing various styles of social dances for many years. They dance as a highly synchronized dance team and frequently combine several styles together in their dance routines. They enjoy dancing with the Brock House Big Band and in addition to joining dancers on the floor they perform their exciting routines at the band’s social dances.

Janet Lang and Peter Dunlop are very keen and enthusiastic swing dancers. They particularly enjoy dancing Jive and West Coast Swing. Recently they have started dancing the “Street Hustle” one of the most popular dances from the 1970s. After having performed with the “Cheek-To-Cheek” dancers at several engagements, they are very pleased to be dancing with the Brock House Big Band.
